The long head of the biceps tendon can be a significant pain generator in the setting of rotator cuff tearing. Surgeons who encounter long head of biceps tendon pathology at the time of rotator cuff repair can be confident in a high likelihood of statistically significant clinical improvement with concomitant long head of biceps surgery. Patients can be reliably counseled preoperatively that if they have both clinically apparent long head of biceps tendon pathology and rotator cuff tearing, and if they undergo long head of biceps tendon surgery with rotator cuff repair, they can expect comparable or better outcomes than isolated rotator cuff repair.
在肩袖撕裂的情况下，肱二头肌长头肌腱可能是一个重要的疼痛来源。在进行肩袖修复时遇到肱二头肌长头肌腱病变的外科医生可以有信心，认为同时进行肱二头肌长头肌腱手术会有很大的统计学意义上的临床改善。可以在术前向患者提供可靠的咨询，如果他们既有明显的肱二头肌长头肌腱病变和肩袖撕裂，又进行了肱二头肌长头肌腱手术和肩袖修复，那么他们可以预期与单纯肩袖修复相比，获得相似或更好的结果。
